cowpie2 I think you could do any of your choices. My only concern is that you may not get back all batiks in option 1. I have asked that they only use the colors that are in the print of my fabric, but have gotten back totally different. Don't know if they don't have it, don't want to buy it or didn't read my note at all. Will say that this boom I will be sending out a print ( red and white)with a note to use only bright white. If someone doesn't have the white, I would rather they send the F8 back because I want a strictly red and white quilt. Those reds are not the easiest colors to try and match. I do try very hard to follow the notes if they are included with the fabric, it's nice to receive a block that will go in the quilt that you want to make and be the right size. Like April says in her rules, you can suggest what you want and hopefully everyone will try to follow it.
